Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Baked Eggplant Appetizer


appetizers, cheese/eggs, vegetables, herbs

1 large eggplant
1 olive oil
1 large onion; peeled & quartered
3 garlic cloves; unpeeled
1 red bell pepper - halved and seeded
1 teaspoon oregano; chopped
2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper
4 oz feta cheese; crumbled
2 tablespoon parsley; chopped
1 pita bread or crackers

Preheat oven to 350 F. Halve eggplant lengthwise. Brush all sides with olive oil. Place halves cut-side down on a baking sheet. Bake 25 minutes. Brush onion, garlic and red pepper with oil; add to eggplant. Bake 25-30 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. Cool eggplant; scoop out flesh and place in a food processor or wooden bowl. Squeeze garlic pulp from skins, peel red pepper, and add to eggplant along with onion, oregano, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Process or finely chop by hand. Do not puree. Mix in 3 oz. of the feta cheese. Spoon mixture into a serving bowl. Sprinkle remaining feta cheese around the edge of mixture; mound parsley in the center. Serve with pita bread or crackers. Yield: 6 to 8 servings. From 1994 Shepherd's Garden Seeds Catalog, pg. 19. Posted by Cathy Harned.
